Accessibility
Standards
ODI working collaboratively at national level
The accessibility aids available to an activity can be described in two parts, The first are those that are part of the venue where the activity is taking place and the second are those associated with the activity itself.
It is generally agreed that a taxonomy would best describe the accessibility of a venue and activity. As venues are common to all sectors then it is recommended that OA (ODI) should work with a cross sector governance group and a leading disability group to agree an accessibility taxonomy. This research has engaged but this is currently a private sector business model. If an accessibility taxonomy can be agreed then OA should adopt an appropriate subset to establish their Activity accessibility taxonomy.
This will require the OA technical lead to engage in this process. This project has made connections with the NHS, LGA and MHCLG. It is recommended to liaise with these contacts to start the process.
M - It would make sense to involve managers of social prescribers in this process as they have access to the Service Users, Social Prescribers and Activity Providers.
AcP - This has to be easy for someone to tick boxes for their organisation and easily inherit the org ticks as a default for each activity. Ideally venue should be out of scope for OA.
ApP - This requires a change to those collecting and those finding. Can there be a central component to reduce development costs?

Date last updated
Standards
ODI working collaboratively at national level
OA has the ability to recognise when the data was last updated through the last modified data in the feed. This will be made more prominent as a last-updated field to give confidence to the social-prescriber. It is also recommended to include an assurance-date which is looking to future proof OA as whilst assurance is not currently perceived an issue, it could become one.
proposes that Modified and Assured date/time attributes be added to the data structure.
AcP - Need to add a last self-assured date to give confidence in their data
Improves confidence in the data
Target audience
Standards
ODI working collaboratively at national level
Any frontline organisation, e.g. council, charity, Police, NHS, Housing etc, may make referrals to sessions delivered by local activity providers’. Each sector will have their own definitions of audiences categories and related taxonomies. It would be unfair to expect the Activity Providers to align their activities against every sectors different set of audience categories.
As with the strategy, it is recommended that the OA (ODI) work with a cross-sector governance body to agree a This should be relatively short and focus on key need groups e.g. partially sighted. This will allow each of the sectors to map their own taxonomy e.g. Snomed () to the cross-sector target audience which will then allow applications to filter out appropriate activities based on e.g. a Snomed term.

Similar effort to Accessibility strategy.

M - It would make sense to include managers targeting particular groups of people
Improves means to identify appropriate activity
Client readiness
Standards
ODI working collaboratively at national level
There is concern from Social Prescribers that their client may not be ready for an activity. Generally the OA data set is being reviewed to give a richer set of data to provide enough information for the SPLW to make the best decision concerning their client needs.
The strategy is probably a good one to consider. Also the will help.
@Intensity levels
@Activity further info
This strategy is for the activity provider to develop a readiness check that the can carry out with their client and decide whether the client would be ‘ready’ for the activity. This would probably be carried out normally when the client first joined the session but to avoid making it more difficult for the client this allows the check to be performed by the .
@SPLW
@SPLW
The readiness check could be based on a national standard check e.g. Par-q or their own but it should advise whether the activity is appropriate to the client. The readiness check should be on the activity providers website such that a link can be added to the OA data for the to access. This will mean that both the activity provider and the can focus on providing the best match to client needs.

Add an ability to hold a link to a readiness check to the OA opportunity data set
FW - follow the link and complete the readiness check with SU
OAApP - include the gallery link in their UI
AcP - This will need setting up on an their website
M - This could be activity specific and therefor a link to a general readiness check for that activity
SPApP - allow SPLW to view readiness link
Increases likelihood of referring a physical activity
No results from filter
